Country exports increased from chatjiPT
Since the launch of the chat GPT, the export of India’s computer services has increased by 30%. World Bank South Asia Chief Economist Franziska Ohgsorge said that India’s computer service sector is growing rapidly and the launch of ChatGPT has further boosted its export. According to the latest data of the Reserve Bank of India, India’s software services exports in the April-June quarter were $ 47.32 billion, which is 13% more than the previous year.
Prior to the launch of ChatjPT, in July-September 2022, the export was $ 36.23 billion. OhSorge believes that India is in a good position to take advantage of the arrival of AI, especially the service process, such as business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, which is engaged in adopting it fast.
Demand of AI skills increased
He said that after the launch of the Chat GPT, the demand for AI skills has increased in 12% jobs in the BPO sector, which is already doubled. This is three times more than other sectors. India ranks 46th in Oxford Insights’ Government AI Ready Index, which is better and almost at the level of developed countries than the rest of the emerging markets.
The export of services is very important for India because it gives the country a big surplus with the rest of the world, while there is deficit in Goods trade. According to the initial data of the Commerce Ministry, India’s Goods Trade Deficit was $ 122 billion in the first five months (April-August) of 2025-26, but the service trade surplus was $ 81 billion, which balanced the deficit to a great extent. Goods trade deficit in 2024-25 was $ 121 billion, while Service Trade Surplus 68 billion dollars.
Private investment and FDI problems
Ohshorge said that AI opportunities will attract private investment, but it is not necessarily enough to increase the total investment, as the growth of private capital expenses has slowed down since the corona epidemic. He said that this is the opposite of the rest of the emerging markets. Public investment has gained momentum, but the growth of private investment is slower than Indian standards, although it is not slow with international standards. But Net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is also weaker than International Standards.
According to RBI data, India’s gross FDI in July reached a 50 -month -old high 11.11 billion dollars, but Net FDI was lower $ 5.05 billion. Net FDI is counted after foreign companies invested in India and adjusting Indian companies’ investment abroad. FDI is an important indicator of the country’s economy’s health and the trust of foreign investors. In 2024-25, NET FDI declined drastically, which fell from $ 10.15 billion to $ 959 million in 2023-24. Gross investment increased to $ 80.62 billion.
